I have been farming since I crossed over.

Yang Mingxi stood quietly in place, her eyes closely following the figure of Wan Daya who was gradually moving away, until the back disappeared at the end of the road and turned towards the Yang family courtyard, Yang Mingxi withdrew her gaze.

At this moment, the idea that had always been vaguely present in her heart became clearer and firmer.

Yang Mingxi still remembered the scene when she first met Wan Daya. At that moment, an idea came to her mind: if one day in the future, she decided to lead her family out of this familiar yet slightly narrow world to pursue a broader world and opportunities, then this crucial "rear base" of the family must be entrusted to a truly trustworthy and capable person to take charge.

Initially, Yang Mingxi set her sights on Yang Mingjiang. After all, he and his wife, Lei, were both good candidates. Yang Mingjiang was upright and kind, his character impeccable, and naturally reliable. Furthermore, after spending time together and observing him, Yang Mingxi knew he had considerable ability to get things done. As for Lei, while she occasionally had her own ulterior motives, Yang Mingjiang was able to keep her in check, preventing any major disturbances.

However, after seeing Wan Daya again today, Yang Mingxi's previous thoughts had subtly changed.

Thinking about it carefully, her second brother Yang Mingyang's character was indeed flawless, and his abilities were comparable to those of her eldest cousin. The key factor that really made her change her mind was the woman in front of her named Wan Daya.

Wan Daya is truly an extraordinary person! Although she is a village girl, she is not only eloquent, but also speaks clearly and logically. She is also quick and decisive in doing things, without any delay.

If such eloquent and capable people are truly willing to assist and support his second brother Yang Mingjiang, then Yang Mingxi can definitely rest assured and leave the rear area to the two of them.

Now that she had figured it all out, Yang Mingxi stopped exchanging pleasantries with Wan Daya. She took a deep breath, quickly composed herself, and then, with determined steps, headed straight towards Wan Daya's home...

While similar in appearance to the old Yang family's, the Wan family's house was noticeably more dilapidated. The five rooms were tightly connected, as if they had been eroded by time and depended on each other for survival. A small kitchen sat on one side of the house, while another was filled with miscellaneous items. Despite this, the house itself was kept clean and tidy, creating a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.

Yang Mingxi walked briskly to the front of the somewhat shabby house. She raised her voice and called out, "Erya, are you home? I'm Yang Mingxi. I heard from your sister-in-law that you were cooking, so I came to check on you."

Soon after Yang Mingxi finished speaking, a little head popped out from the kitchen. It was Wan Erya who, upon hearing the call, quickly stuck her head out and responded, "I'm coming, it's Sister Xier. Please come in! I'm busy cooking in the kitchen."

Yang Mingxi walked quickly into the yard and headed straight for the kitchen, asking as she walked, "Erya, how's your cooking? Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated. Just make the rice and as for the dishes, you can come to our house and prepare them. We're planning to have hotpot tonight, which is very convenient to prepare."

"That's great. I just prepared some vegetables, and my sister stewed the duck when we were going out at noon. It's perfect for eating in the hot pot," Wan Erya said with a smile.

"Oh, that saves me a lot of trouble. Second sister-in-law has prepared everything, and I just picked up what's ready. How's the meal? Is it cooked?"

"It's almost done. Look at these vegetables. If you need anything else to prepare, we have them all in our vegetable garden," said Wan Erya.

Yang Mingxi glanced at the dishes Erya had prepared. The variety and quantity were sufficient. All they needed was some meat. She smiled and said, "That's enough. There's so much, we can't finish it! But I want to go to your vegetable garden and see what vegetables you have."

Erya's face was filled with a bright smile. She said happily, "Of course, that's no problem. Let me tell you, this vegetable garden of ours has always been taken care of by my eldest sister and the rest of us. And the vegetables we grow are just amazing! When you go over and see them for yourself later, I guarantee you'll love them so much that you won't be able to let them go!"

As they chatted, the two walked towards the Wan family vegetable garden, chatting and laughing. Before they had gone far, Yang Mingxi could see the lush, vibrant garden in the distance. The garden was divided into neatly arranged sections, each filled with a variety of fresh, tender vegetables. The vegetables were lush and green, their branches and leaves flourishing, a scene of thriving growth. They shone brightly in the sunlight, as if joyfully displaying their vigorous vitality and abundant harvest.

Yang Mingxi looked at Erya and said, "Erya, don't you know that we collect vegetables in our workshop? We collect things like cabbage, green beans, and small melons. We also collect all the seasonings. If you can't finish them at home, you can bring them to the workshop and sell them! We also collect chickens, ducks, fish, and other livestock."

After Erwa heard this, his face turned pale and he said, "Okay, we got it. We'll sell it later."

"Erya, don't feel embarrassed. The fact that we are purchasing from outside means that what we grow ourselves is indeed not enough. It is normal to sell what you grow through your own labor, isn't it?" Yang Mingxi noticed that Erya's face looked a little strange and said quickly.

Erya seemed to have figured it out and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take these vegetables that can be sold to the workshop tomorrow. It's only natural that I can make money from the vegetables I grew myself! Right, Sister Xier?"

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "Yes, there's nothing shameful about making money through your own hard work, right?"

After looking at the vegetable garden, the two little girls returned to the Wan family while talking, packed up the rice and vegetables, and brought them to Yang Mingxi's house.

What Yang Mingxi didn't know was that these few words today would make Wan Erya a truly wealthy businessman in the future.

As the sun was setting, Lu Changdong arrived with a large group of men and horses. Or rather, human mules.

Soon, the baskets of bitter melons that were piled up like a mountain in front of Yang Mingxi's yard were neatly loaded onto mule carts and taken away one by one.

In the Yang family courtyard, Yang Mingxi set up two tables, cut a large pot of meat, marinated it with seasonings, and ate the delicious pot with the old duck soup stewed by Wan Daya.
